THE NE.WYORKER
of two hundred, and containing a poem
Joyce wrote her, his inscription, and,
bound in the back, his original plan
of the book. Item 2 will be "Ulysses"
proofs and various typescript versions ·
not included in the final book, plus
marginal notes and pen corrections.
Item 3 will be a manuscript version of
"Portrait of the Artist as a Young
Man"-about six hundred pages, be-
ing what was left after Joyce threw
it in the fire in despair at publish-
ers' refusals. This MS. is written in
ink on white copybook paper, unlined,
with very wide margins. Further
rarities will be a partial MS. of
"Dubliners;" "A Painful Case" and
"Grace" complete; "The Dead" in-
complete. Also the MS. of "Chamber
Music" from which Joyce read the
poems to Yeats; the MS. of "Pomes
Penyeach;" and the MS. of a lec-
ture in Italian on Defoe given by Joyce
at the Universita del Popolo, Trieste,
in 1913. Also pamphlets published by
Joyce, including that by Skeffington,
murdered in the Irish revolution, and
Joyce's OWn "Day of Rabblement,"
both in original pink covers; as well as
(a great rarity, since most pious people
destroyed it) a blasphemous broadside
Joyce wrote and left at leading Dublin
citizens' doorsteps on quitting the town.
For autograph-hunters, th
hundred
and fifty signatures, some with letters
attached, to the "Protest Against the
Pirating of 'Ulysses' " is an unusually
complete selection of modern literary
lights from A to Y, there being no Z;
just from Aldington to Maeterlinck to
\Vells to Yeats. Non- J oyceian items
in the sale will include two original
drawings by Blake, a first edition of
"Lady Chatterley's Lover," a MS. of
\Valt \Vhitman, etc. Miss Beach's sale
will be the first first-water Joyceiana
marketing since the Quinn sale. It will
probably take place in her Rue de
l'Odéon Shakespeare shop.
F RENCH skiing is now at its height.
French snow is like no one else's,
since it is at its best socially only from
New Year's to Mardi Gras, the pres-
ent big French sport stations being at
an elevation of only 1,000 metres.
They'll soon have to be a mile high
to be on a level with recent French
ski enthusiasm, this year at its peak.
In an effort to get out of the depres-
sion, a dozen new chic resorts are
now being planned at a height of from
1,500 to 2,000 metres in the Dau-
phiné, Tignes, Val d'Isère, etc., and
one, everybody hopes, is to be at Mont-
Genèvre (1,800), one of the finest ski-

"THREE AROUND HIM
H OT REACH '
COULD
Tremendously large as a man - tremendously successful as
a nuvelist-Honore de Balzac was tremendously unsuccessful
as a lover! For sixteen years he pursued the fascina1ing Ma-
dame Hanska-only to die a few months after she married
him! Perhaps the secret of her indifference, even the clue to
hisumimely death, lies in this single line, "Balzac was mOre
oJ",(1. hogshead than a man. Three, with arms outstretched,
ídOukJ not reach around him."* Almost as famous as his stories
are the legends of his appetite. 'Tis said that one evening he
,
,: a hundred oysters, twelve chops, a young duck, a pair of
roast partridges, a sole, hors d'oeuvres, sweets, a dozen or so
pears, choice wines, coffee and liqueurs!

As usual, the moral to this tale is ob-
vious! If Balzac had only known how
satisfactorily Ry-Krisp takes the edge
off hunger, one of France's greatest
novelists might have had a happier
biography! Knowing good food he'd
have enjoyed the crispness, the hearty
whole rye flavor of these wafers-just
as you do!
Remember-these crisp, delicious
wafers, which go so well with any food,
have a double purpose in life! They
satisfy the pangs of hunger-anytime!
And they help you keep your figure
within bounds because when you have
Ry-Krisp you never even miss the foods
that make you fat! The family, and
guests who like their figures, will thank
you for having Ry-Krisp handy! It
comes from your grocer - in red and
white checkerboard packages.
